GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS Combined General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 28, 2021

Draft resolutions to the Combined General Shareholders’ 8.2.3 Meeting of May 28, 2021 Ordinary resolutions First Resolution: Approval of the 2020 parent company financial statements allocation of the remaining distributable earnings to “Retained (ii) earnings.”

Based on the share capital as of December 31, 2020, on the assumption that no treasury stock existed on that date and without taking into account any shares with immediate dividend rights created after December 31, 2020, distributable earnings will be allocated as follows: Dividend €189,357,090.12 Retained earnings €3,203,528,086.84 It should be noted that dividends are not payable on shares owned by the Company. In the event that, during the payment of these dividends, the Company comes to own some of its own shares, the amounts corresponding to unpaid dividends that would have been payable on these shares will be recognized as retained earnings. The General Shareholders’ Meeting fully empowers the Board of Directors to determine the total amount of the dividend and consequently the amount of the remaining distributable earnings allocated to retained earnings, based on the number of treasury shares held on the dividend payment date. For individual beneficiarieswho are tax residents of France and hold shares outside of an equity savings plan, these dividends are subject to income tax: at a single flat-rate withholding tax (PFU) of 12.8%, the tax base of V which is the gross amount of dividends (Article 200 A of the French General Tax Code); or at the express and irrevocable option of the beneficiary when V declaring their income, at the progressive income tax scale following the application of an allowance of 40% of the gross amount of dividends (Article 158-3-2 of the French General Tax Code). Regardless of the tax treatment of dividends for income tax purposes (PFU or progressive income tax scale), the paying establishment located in France must collect: a mandatory non-definitive flat-rate withholding tax (PFO) at a rate V of 12.8% (Article 117 quater of the French General Tax Code) as an initial income tax payment, unless individual beneficiarieswho are tax residents of France have applied for an exemption under the conditions set out in Article 242 quater of the French General Tax Code; social security charges of 17.2%.
